What was the name of Salvador Dalí’s home and studio near Cadaqués?

Salvador Dalí’s home and studio near Cadaqués was Portlligat.

Dalí and Gala established their principal home at Portlligat, a small coastal settlement near Cadaqués in Catalonia. They began with a fishermen’s cottage and gradually expanded it by acquiring adjoining buildings. The resulting house became an irregular network of rooms, terraces, and passages shaped by the couple’s changing needs.

Portlligat was more than a residence. It was also an important studio and a recurring source of visual material for Dalí. The Mediterranean light, rocky shoreline, and nearby landscape appear in many works and helped define the setting of his artistic life.

The house is now the Salvador Dalí House-Museum, managed by the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation. Visitors can see studio spaces, domestic rooms, and objects connected with the artist. Portlligat is sometimes confused with Figueres, where Dalí’s theatre-museum stands, or with nearby Cadaqués, the larger town associated with the house.
